21YO Suspect Allegedly Knew She Was 14 Years Old

A 21-year-old male is charged with multiple counts of First Degree Sexual Assault for allegedly having sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl on five separate occasions.

According to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, a report of an alleged sexual assault on a 14-year-old female was made on Monday, October 8th, at around 3:30pm. The alleged victim was taken to the Bridge of Hope Child Advocacy Center the next day for a forensic interview.

The alleged victim claims she had sexual intercourse with suspect Niles at least five times since spring 2012 and October 6th. During the forensic interview the victim alleged that suspect Niles was aware that she was 14 years of age.

On Tuesday, suspect Niles was arrested then taken to the LCSO to be interviewed. Niles was booked into the Lincoln County Detention Center shortly after the interview, charged with five counts of First Degree Sexual Assault.

It’s only rape if she didn’t consent to it. Which based on the fact that it happened 5 times, I would say it wasn’t rape. Her parents probably found out, and that’s why he is in jail. Don’t get me wrong, he was definitely wrong for having sex with a 14 year old, so he deserves to be right where he is, but I really doubt he raped her.

Momma didn’t find out till the cops came and got her at work…she lets those kids run wild she don’t care a bit what they do or what they’re doin….granted he shouldn’t have gotten involved with a 14 yr old but shes not as innocent as she claims to be….both are guilty

Ya’ll need to get your facts straight…I know both parties involved and her facebook pictures are extremely provocative…and she’s still sleeping with an older man than the one above. Her and her mother should be facing charges to…

I agree with BS.. the child & her mom should both face some kind of charges.. this is happening WAY TOO MUCH around here & it seems the only one who gets in trouble is the STUPID GUYS.. Why aren’t the parents of these kids who are having sex with adults getting charged.. Parents are responsible for their kids .. yet nothing happens to the parents.. What is up with this town… MAKE THE PARENTS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TOO!!!!!!!

I think it’s funny when parents let their kids run wild, yet press charges as soon as they get the chance.

At the age of fourteen she shouldnt be having sex in the first place.. But you know what they say like mother like daughter.. Dakota Niles knows better but did he really do it? Or is this little 14 year old wanting attention? After all.. thats what kids these days want…is attention..! She should probably close her legs and quit bragging to everyone how she gets sex from older guys.. PATHETIC!

state Stat. 28-319 1st Deg. sexual assault: (paraphrasing) if the offender is over 19 and the victim is over 12 but under 16. IE- even if the victim says its ok, if they cant drive, they cant give consent for sexual contact to an adult. right wrong or indifferent about how this 14 year old acted prior to this, the way the law is written, she cant give consent to have sex.

I understand the law..but just simply stating that this 14 year old is experienced beyond her years sexually. He is not the only guilty one she is sleeping with older men all the time and not to mention stripping down naked on messenger and other applications that allow you to video chat. Granted these men should know better but coming on to older men and spreading your legs and simply turning them in just because she can. Ridiculous…you should have seen her or heard her yesterday just smiling think her life is perfect while her so called friends turned on her for her telling them how funny this is to watch everyone panic..NO ONE feels sorry for her or feels that she was violated…and btw he posted bail and some of the charges have already been dropped cuz her stories don’t match and he had alibis! HELLO he ain’t the only guilty one if he’s even guilty at all!

So the one common thing I have noticed on this and other media outlets is the implication of presumed guilt. “He knew she was 14…”

Last I checked, it takes a little more than an accusation and awareness of a person’s age to prove the guilt of a person. Is there any hard evidence? Any self-incriminating statements made?

I have heard someone familiar with the alleged victim state that she actually approached the accused recently asking for advice because she was having sexual relations with multiple men and was afraid to report them due to a potential personal repurcussions. The most recent date she claims to have had relations with Mr. Niles is questionable as well, given that he was attending a personal family function, with immediate and extended family, most if not all of the day.

I did notice that the story here says “Alleged” which is what’s required by law before a conviction. I’d bet this cat gets sent to prison though. with a name like Dakota and them pretty blue eyes, he’ll be welcomed there with open arms, I betya!

Really?? I doubt it being that 5 counts has been dropped to 1. Her stories are falling apart…which is hard to do when they’re all lies!

Oh, so all that is required for a conviction are allegations? Are we the new Soviet Republic now?

I’m big on logic and law, personally. Show me the hard evidence. A conviction for a criminal charge should be so airtight that you could explain it to a 5 year old and they would be able to connect the dots like an episode of CSI.

I feel that it is irresponsible to splash info like this all over the media, effectively destroying a person’s public reputation, before any evidence other than an accusation is thrown out there.

I wonder how the media got such prompt notification of these charges. I wonder what made this case so unique…

Well in all honesty…this 21 year old had sex with a 14 year old. Nast. If you’re 21 and cant get any poon your own age doesn’t mean you should have it with a young 14 year old.

Let’s be real. How could you not tell she was younger than 18 or 19. seriously. how does something like even happen.

Sniff that.

If someone is accused of molesting a child, stealing a car, shooting dope, I wanna know about it. You’re a dipstick for trying to keep it quiet. You’re part of the problem.

Never said I was trying to keep it quiet dipstick! This 14 yr old has no self respect because she follows mommy’s footsteps and this man has been wrongly accused. If you think you know everything about this case bring it to the table. Let us all know but I’m sure I know more than you and not rumors either. The 14 yr old is out of control she got busted doing a b&e and you don’t see that on here either…
